Oh, bother. Get your jar of honey ready for a live-action “Winnie the Pooh” movie!
The silly old bear is headed to a theater near you, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In the film – which will be written by Alex Ross Perry – a grown-up Christopher Robin will return to the Hundred Acre Wood, where Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, Owl and Rabbit call home.

Per THR, the project is still in its early stages of development.
“Winnie the Pooh” continues Disney’s ongoing trend of live-action remakes of their classic animated stories. “Cinderella” – starring Lily James, Helena Bonham Carter and Cate Blanchett – opened in theaters last month. “Beauty and the Beast” – set to star Emma Watson, Josh Gad, Dan Stevens and Luke Evans – and “Jungle Book” – directed by Jon Favreau – are both currently in the works.
